Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 242

With a nod, Simon adjusted his mask and approached the door, knocking softly.

"Hello, I'm here for my appoi—"

His words caught in his throat, and he froze, his eyes widening in shock. Behind the desk, Louis exhaled a puff of smoke as he watched Simon with an amused smirk.

For a moment, Simon's blood ran cold. What the hell was going on? Had he unwittingly crossed some vengeful spirit? How else could he explain this relentless misfortune? How could the chairman of Onley Group be Zedrick's younger brother?

Louis flicked the ashes from his cigarette. "I have an appointment with the founder of Legacy Twine, right? Mr. Fitzgerald, please take a seat."

Louis was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He and Zedrick had nearly beaten Simon senseless, and now, he was acting like they were meeting for the first time.

Simon's fists tightened. He wanted to turn on his heel and leave this nightmare behind. But where could he go? No matter how much he hated it, he had no choice but to stay and endure.

Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly sat down. "H-Hello, Mr. Jovarek."

Louis pretended not to recognize him. "So, how can I assist Legacy Twine?"

Onley Group was still establishing themselves in Greenfield City. It would be unwise to offend any local businesses—not until they had secured a stronger foothold in the market.

Louis had been trying to get in touch with the National Crochet Union for weeks, but to his surprise, they were completely unreachable. He wasn't sure if they were purposely avoiding Onley Group or if there was another reason.

However, he was well aware of the emerging presence of Legacy Twine, Simon's newly launched company. Perhaps using Simon as a bridge could open doors for him.

"I…" Gathering his confidence, Simon decided to temporarily put aside old grudges. "I was thinking… Onley Group is new to Greenfield City, and you're not very well known here. Meanwhile, Prosper Stitch Group is growing rapidly, putting smaller businesses at risk.
